Schematic diagram of the IgG antibody response against recombinant VIR proteins in
each individual with patent P. vivax malaria. The antibody level was expressed as Index of Reactivity calculated as described
in the Methods section. Values of IR ≥ 1.0 were considered as positive. Individuals
primary-infected are shown in bold and underlined. Individual responses were categorized
as follows: negative individuals (
), individuals with IR between 1 to < 2.5 (
), individuals with IR between 2.5 to < 5.0 (
) and individuals with IR ≥ 5.0 (
).
